It’s just that simple Wed, 14 Jun 2006 20:58:13 +0000 http://www.firedoglake.com/2006/06/14/perhaps-some-chanel-instead/#comment-142308 <p>[…] But this is why I have such a hard time identifying myself as a “liberal”. I can’t stand people like this. If you read the comments, most of the people feel as I do that this is simply ridiculous. If you throw reasonable people away from your cause then you will go nowhere in upcoming elections. I support Democrats mostly as a lesser of two evils situation, but when “liberals” get all upset over something as minor as that joke then I’m glad you are not running this country. Unfortunately, there is one other group which I despise even more. FireDogLake has a much better view of Jon Stewart’s contribution to the national political debate. He interviewed RNC chair Ken Mehlman and didn’t go after him like he did with Bennett. I think the reason is that he genuinely realizes Mehlman has a very difficult job and that Mehlman wasn’t going after him and making wild assertions like Bennett or Ponnuru. Stewart measures his tenacity based upon what his guest is like. He won’t beat up on an easy target unless the guest makes the first move.

He had Shelly Drobny, the founder of Air America on and hes worked with Fitz in Chicago. He painted quite a different picture than the hero we have all looked to for salvation.
He had nothing nice to say and his take on the Rove thing was that Fitz does what he is asked.
Seder was horrified and tried to paint Fitz in the golden light but was shot down quite convincingly.

Did anyone else hear this?

The stock market has lost about 1,000 points in the past several weeks, and you hear nothing about it in the MSM. Bush is going up in the polls instead? Where are all these people who are depending their 401Ks for retirement because traditional pensions do not exist? And inflation? I simply can’t believe that the Rethugs can spin this successfully in the fall. But where are all the Dems with “It’s the economy, stupid”? Are they afraid of being called economic terrorists or cowards?</p> Talk about Rove getting a pass!
